    Oatmeal Raisin Coconut Cookie Recipe

    This oatmeal raisin coconut cookie recipe puts a little spin on the classic oatmeal cookie. The coconut adds flavor, texture, and nutrition to this recipe. You may not go back to making oat meal cookies without it.

    Not only are these cookies delicious (and gluten-free) but they are incredibly easy to make. Everything goes into one bowl so it's a quick cleanup. You can make these cookies for the holidays along side these paleo gingerbread cookies or just for everyday. They are higher in protein due to the almond flour in place of grain flour. For that reason, you can even serve them as a good healthy snack.

    Notes

    Vegan & Gluten-free
    Are oats gluten-free?

    Oats on it's own is a gluten-free grain BUT the way they are farmed makes them not gluten-free unless it is specifically stated on the packaging. Oats and wheat are often planted next to each other which makes them contaminated for people who have celiac disease or gluten intolerance. It is safe to eat oats as long as the packaging states they are gluten-free.

    Should I buy Organic oats?

    You really want to make sure you purchase organic oats. It is a crop that is heavily contaminated with pesticides if it is not organic. Even some organic brands have been tested and still have residue. I trust One degree oats, they are tested for pesticide residue and are 100% free of round-up.

  • Gluten free Sourdough Buns Recipe

    Gluten free Sourdough Buns Recipe

    This gluten free sourdough buns recipe does not require any rise time. They are also made entirely with sourdough starter with no added flour. For these reasons they are quick to make!

    I started making these buns when I had extra sourdough starter that I needed to use up. It's perfect if you don't have time to put together a loaf of bread or if you don't have quite enough starter for a full loaf (this is my bread recipe if you want to try it!). I love that all of the flour in these buns are fermented which makes the grains easier to digest. The addition of chia seeds and psyllium husk help to make the dough stiff and packed with fiber. Chia seeds are great because they are a very good source of omega 3 which can be hard to get enough of in the typical American diet.

    How to Eat Gluten Free Sourdough Buns

    These buns are great just eaten by themselves, toasted with butter and jelly is even better. I also use them for…

    • Egg sandwiches
    • Sandwiches in the kids lunchboxes… turkey, ham, chicken, etc.
    • Served as a dinner roll with a soup or chili, try one of these soup recipes
    • They work well as hamburger buns too, they are strong enough to hold up (unlike some other gluten-free buns).

    • Preheat oven to 450
    • Mix all of the dough ingredients together except for the tapioca starch, which is used to form the buns.
    • The batter wil start out quite liquidy. Leave it for 5 minutes to thicken, then stir it again.
    • Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop out dough, sprinkle with tapioca starch
    • Place buns on a parchment paper lined baking sheet
    • Bake the buns for 20-30 minutes, they are finished when the outside is crusty

    Recipe Variations

    This recipe is a basic bun but you can make them in many different ways depending on what you want. Here are some ideas:

    • Cinnamon Raisin – add 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1/2 cup of raisins
    • Rosemary – add 1 tbsp of dried rosemary
    • Sun-dried tomato – add 1/4 cup of finely chopped sun-dried tomato (drain off the oil before adding)
    • Italian herb – add 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
    • Everything – Brush them with an egg wash and top with everything seasoning prior to baking.
